The Beauty of Black and White #2

There are some photographs that I feel, were taken to be black and white.  In color, these photographs don’t hold your attention and beg for further inspection, but in black and white, they fill you with wonder.  The contrast between light and darkness is shown when the photograph is black and white, while in color…

Photography: I Don’t Want To Bug You (#4)

Below are some of my favorite bug photos that I have taken earlier in the summer.  I managed to get a real close up of a mosquito, which is rare, considering they give me the creeps (seriously.  Even bees don’t scare me as much as they do).  This one, I think female, looked like she…

Bee’s Eye View

When reviewing some photographs of flowers that I took a few months ago, I realized that I never really have gotten a close up of the insides of the flowers and was curious as to how that would turn out.  So, a few weeks ago, when I went to the gardens,  I made a point…

Spiders Up Close

I don’t know why I never realized this earlier, but up close, spiders are the CUTEST!  I find that specifically the jumping spider is adorable.  After finding this out, I have gone on a quest in search for spiders willing to stand still for a few moments for their pictures.  I hope to continue this…

Beautiful Birds Of California

While in California, I had the chance to photograph many gorgeous birds that willingly sat still long for me to take photos.  Some even struck poses J!  I was glad to have the chance to capture their elegance and beauty.  Below are some of my favorite photos I took.            …

Photography: I Don’t Want To Bug You (#3)

I know that it has been a while since I have posted an all bugs post, so I decided to do another one.  With summer officially here, I have found that there are fewer bugs to find – especially in the heat of the day.  Now, that may be me being more restless because I…

Photography: The Better To See You With

While we were at the park this week, there were many interesting bugs flying around.  They were really fast, but I was lucky enough to get a few photos of a fly that was running around on the leaves.  He was really fast, so I had a hard time getting a lot of good ones….

Photography: I Don’t Want To Bug You (Post #2)

With spring now here, there are bugs everywhere I look.  So, when I went to the botanic gardens last week, I was excited about which bugs I was going to see.  There were so many to photograph that if I wanted to, I could have stayed in one place during the whole visit and gotten…

Photography: Garden Views on a Beautiful Day (Post 01)

This past week we have gone to the gardens several times and I really enjoyed it.  I don’t think I could ever get bored there.  There is just so much to see!  There were many bugs and plenty of flowers to take photos of.  Below are a few of my favorite pictures that I took…

Photography: I Don’t Want To Bug You (Part 1)

We went to the gardens again yesterday.  It was extremely hot and sunny, but I managed to get a few photos.  They didn’t turn out all that well, so I decided to share some of my old bug photos.  I am always trying to get as close to bugs as possible hoping to get a…
